Self-confidence is often described as a positive, yet realistic attitude that provides the self-esteem necessary to achieve goals. It affords you a certain amount of trust in your own abilities, traits and attributes. It influences your expectations in a sensible and pragmatic fashion.

Actually, people are good at a multitude of things. Identifying and using your strengths and successes can pave the way to better self-confidence.

4. Set goals, but keep them realistic. Realistic goals provide a trajectory to your life. They can encourage a...
